Or... If you're going to have a farm, do it properly.

Put your chickens in a coop at night that locks and lock the food barrels.

They are in a coop at night this sucker keeps breaking in. We've lived here 13 years with chickens and have never had a raccoon like this before. I have to have dh get some locking rings for the food barrels. Since it wasnt an issue until now we don't have any.

Raccoons can break into so many buildings. They're mean little bastards.

That sucks! We had never had issues with predators before, but this last winter we lost most of our chickens to a raccoon and a hawk.

Raccoons can get through chicken wire, and you need a lock that is either a key lock or combination lock. They can figure out latch locks pretty easily.

These are pretty handy too:

But attempting to kill off nature is not a good way to keep a farm, nature always wins.

I would just kill the sucker by poisoning it NOT that Im telling you to do that. That's just what I would do to get rid of pesky animals

You are always so damn ignorant

We had a locking chicken coop. A raccoon ripped through the siding, insulation, and the paneling inside and killed chickens. We repaired it and another raccoon did the same in a different spot
